BOOM! Casts A ‘Curse’ On You!

BOOM! Studios has a new title from the all-star creative team of Michael Moreci, Tim Daniel, Riley Rossmo, and Colin Lorimer, all of whom have proven they’ve got horror chops. “Curse” follows Laney Griffith, a man who will do anything to save his son from cancer. When he pursues an elusive murderer in the wilderness of his small, rural community, in the hopes of securing a substantial bounty, Laney is confronted with something he never could have expected: a werewolf. The captive lycan, in human form, turns Laney’s life upside-down, forcing him to confront his haunted past and race against the clock—because the wolf will return, and Laney’s son’s condition continues to worsen. CURSE is a story of a family’s survival at all costs.

You don’t even have to wait that long. The first issue hits on January 15th.

December 19, 2013 – Los Angeles, CA – Award-winning publisher BOOM! Studios is excited to announce the January debut of its newest horror comic series, CURSE, which puts a fresh twist on the werewolf mythology. The title features a creative team who are no strangers to the horror genre: writers Michael Moreci (Hoax Hunters) and Tim Daniel (Enormous), and artists Riley Rossmo (Drumhellar) and Colin Lorimer (UXB).

“Now this is the way to kick off the new year,” said BOOM! Studios Editor-in-Chief Matt Gagnon. “We made some noise in 2013 by curating a line of original series that we’re really proud of. The only sensible thing to do in 2014 is to try and top ourselves! I’m proud to present CURSE as our opening salvo. Michael, Tim, Riley, and Colin have joined together to form one hell of a concussive grouping of talent. The fellas have created my favorite type of horror series. One that avoids cheap thrills and gaudy violence in favor of relatable characters on the brink and an unsettling monster that represents more than the terror it inflicts.”

WHY WE LOVE IT: BOOM! Studios has a long history of publishing some of the industry’s best modern horror, and CURSE takes us back to our roots with a werewolf story unlike any you’ve ever seen.

CURSE #1 arrives in comic shops on January 15th with a cover price of $3.99 under Diamond order code NOV130863. Not sure where to find your nearest comic retailer? Use comicshoplocator.com or findacomicshop.com to find one! It’s also available for order directly from boom-studios.com.
